My boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 years now. And he always starts to talk to me on Facebook and or skype while is out of town but then just stops talking mid conversation.. then I get a text in some odd hour of the night saying sorry the internet stopped working.. I love you so so much, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry about the whole communicaton mess, and I promise to make it up to you.. then I see him in person and everything is going great.. and he goes away again and this always happens.. and on days I don't see him he'll get on Facebook before texting me.. am I crazy or is there something going on? He's not cheating.. but am I overwhelming him or something? We honestly don't talk a lot except for usually at night.. but the conversation is almost always cut short.. and he says me more whenever I say I love you.. but then randomly throughout the say just sends I love yous... what's going on in his head?

oh and he's always like I'm sorry I'm not trying to ignore you it's the internet..

Nobody knows what's going on in his head except him. I think a good way to start fixing this communication mess is to talk about it! Find some time to start this conversation. If you are at all concerned the only way to get answers is to talk about it. Talk on the phone so that the internet won't interrupt him. Make sure to ask honest questions. It will show that you trust him and are really hoping for the best in your relationship.

My boyfriend of 2 and a half years said we would hang out tonight last night.. have a date night.. I told him I was having a bad day eariler and he was like like I'm sorry what's wrong babe? And I said long story.. I can tell you tonight.. and he said OK baby.. but it's 10:40 and yet he still hasn't called or anything UGH what to do?

[Fr_Chuck]

HUM?? Call him, and I guess why did you not talk to him when he wanted to hear, he may be feeling unwanted or rejected slightly

Two and a half years, and you ask US? Why can't you ask HIM that question?

[kplush]

Well.. I called and got no response.. and I've texted... so... um.. yeah

[kplush]

How do I not let things get to me? I am not insecure, however I do over analyze every situation. Always think the worst. However that is not always the situation. How do I not over analyze everything if that is what I've always done?

Simple, think about something else. In order to think about something else, you need something more important (school, volunteering, family, friends, taking care of yourself). Get yourself busy and you'll even stop thinking about it.

I have no idea what just happened... I posted and my post went to another thread that was not related... so I guess I am wasting space right now! I am really sorry I had to take out my previous response!

I'm 21 and have never drunk but have had sex.. my boyfriend has and I've been there when he has drank. I want to get tipsy tonight, not sure on drunk.. what to expect?

You're going to experience a lot of strange feelings. You may hallucinate and see neon leprechauns and pastel monkeys. It's going to be pretty weird but you'll get used to it. Also, look out for dragons. Elves and gnomes are pretty sarcastic but once you get to know them you'll see that they have great personalities. Every now and then you may come across a belligerent donkey that speaks in riddles. Ignore him. He's an a$$. No pun intended.

The important thing is to enjoy yourself. Have fun!

[kplush]

Haha thanks :)

[I wish]

Since it's your first time, I would say:

1) Drink responsibly

2) NO DRIVING

3) Have fun!

The more a newbie drinks, the stupider they get. Don't overdo it though.

[jmw0713]

Don't puke! Drink 2 drinks and see how you feel. You maybe rocked after one!

Watch out for shots and drinks that taste good!

[amicon]

For every alcoholic drink you have,have a glass of something non-alcoholic. And don't overdo it.

[Cat1864]

FOOD!! No drinking on an empty stomach. PERIOD.

Also, remember that it take a lot less alcohol to affect a female than it does a male. Keep in mind the alcohol content of what you are drinking. Mixed drinks like Daiquiris are deceptive about the amount of alcohol they contain.

More than likely you will get a warm feeling fairly quickly. Make sure that you are with people you trust to keep you from over-indulging. Give them permission to stop you if you start showing signs of being unsteady.

Have a glass of water every hour is possible... even a little... stay hydrated so you don't get too drunk and don't have a hangover in the morning...

[Rockursock]

Im surprised it took you so long to drink, what did you do on your 21st? Anyway I really enjoy drinking, be careful and take it easy for a while, but eventually you learn how to drink like a pro.

[jmjoseph]

Eat first. Something with some substance to it. Meat and cheese works good. Make sure that you drink plenty of water before, during, and after, you drink. I agree with cat, go with people that you trust. Make sure that you have a sober, reliable, driver. Just go in and experiment, don't try to get drunk. Just have a couple of drinks, and see how it goes.

If you are satisfied with your life how it is now, then why are you trying alcohol in the first place? You've gone this far without drinking, why start now? I hope you aren't getting any pressure from your boyfriend.

Some people don't handle alcohol very well, so take it slow. And be careful don't get hurt, or embarrass yourself.

Good luck on your night.
